New Delhi, July 1 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday declared that the Digital India initiative has evolved into a people's movement, transforming governance, bridging the digital divide, and democratizing access to opportunities over the past decade.

In a detailed LinkedIn post, Modi said India moved from skepticism about citizens' ability to use technology to becoming a global leader in digital transformation.

He emphasized the initiative's inclusive vision: "When the intent is right, innovation empowers the less empowered."
